WWE RAW Results - Feb 12, 2018

John Cena makes his way to the ring and we see highlights of what happened last week when Elias earned the final entrance spot in the Elimination Chamber.
John says it is all about now and we are on the Road to Wrestlemania. You can feel the energy and see the people jumping up and down in their seats. They know about the importance of Wrestlemania. We all know what Wrestlemania means. It can make a superstar's career. It can bring a legend back from the dead. It can be the most important moment in the life of a WWE superstar. We are all here because we find new answers as to who gets to make a moment at Wrestlemania.

Tonight, he is out here to face the truth. The truth is in two weeks, he has to win the Elimination Chamber Match. He says that comes with some mixed emotions. If he does not win the Elimination Chamber, he does not know if he has a road to Wrestlemania. To all of those opposed to him wanting to win the Elimination Chamber, John says he has to survive the most unwinnable match in WWE history to face the most unbeatable champion in WWE history.

John says that sounds impossible to some. John says he loves making the impossible absolutely possible. John says he will win the Elimination Chamber and he will make history against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania.

Miz comes out with Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas.

Miz says this is not 2013, this is 2018, the Year of the Miz. He says that John cannot separate reality from fantasy. Miz points out that John is the founding father of Suplex City. Miz says he will main event Wrestlemania becaue that is where this title belongs. Miz says he will be the first to hold the Universal and Intercontinental Title after beating Brock Lesnar.

John says that Miz would have a statistical chance to beat Brock, but only if he misses his flight or gets frozen in a block of ice. If the match happened, it would be your last match.

Miz says that John is wrong. The biggest mistake you made was to try to beat Brock at his game. Miz says he will play to his strengths. He will use his brain. He will do whatever it takes. He wins because he does the things that others won't and can't do. He will cross the lines that John will not cross. That is why he beat Roman Reigns for the Intercontinental Title. That is why he will beat Brock in the main event of Wrestlemania.

John reminds Miz he will have to get through the Elimination Chamber. Miz says it won't be the first time he outsmarted someone at Wrestlemania because he did it to John. John says we might be in the middle of Miz Country, so why not The Miz versus John Cena. The loser of the match enters the Elimination Chamber first.

Miz asks John if he thinks he is stupid. The first entrant has the worst odds... Axel and Dallas suddenly attack Cena and they hit a belly-to-back suplex and neck breaker combination. Miz says he is smarter that Cena. Challenge accepted and he wants a referee.

Instead of a referee, Kurt Angle's music plays and he comes out. He says this is not the way we are going to start off Raw. He says he likes John's challenge. Angle calls for a referee and says the match is on. Angle ejects Axel and Dallas from ringside and says the match begins right now.
